    I wouldn't really call it ignorance for people not seeing something you mask. Yes it's an issue that people tell you to hide things to fit in, but what's a real solution we could have for this going forward? What are subtle things you could pick up on as said person, to let someone know you think you might have autism?

    I'm a late diagnosed male, because my autistic traits were more like the typical traits of female autism. This is not just a problem autistic women/girls face, but it's probably more common with them.

    I’ve been taking mirtazapine 15mg for 4 months and I’ve gained 24 pounds. I am hungry like a pregnant woman, I crave so much carbohydrates, and sweets. I’m not just hungry at night as my psychiatrist suggested to only eat healthy snacks, I’m hungry around the clock, and feel like I have a bottomless pit of extreme hunger. Mind you I have always been extremely strict with my diets and never craved sweets. I had zero control of myself. This is the biggest I’ve ever been in my life, I have stretch marks on my thighs, butt, boobs from how rapid the weight gain was, I’ve been pregnant before, and pregnancy didn’t even do this to me. I would exercise 5 days out of the week for about two hours in pretty intense weight training. Eventually, due to the continuous weight gain, crazy craving I came to evaluate everything I was taking for my mental health, and realized it has to be the mirtazapine. Come to find all of these articles scientifically explaining the weight gain and so many people sharing there stories.

    I was put on 45 mg, following an acute crisis in 2021. For a time it worked. I stayed on this for 18 months, then dropped, but lacked confidence to stay on the 30mg, and went back up. I hate feeling heavy. But the double whammy of Mirtazapine, is increased appetite AND a slow metabolism. I feel uncomfortable. I struggle to keep weight off. It slows me down. Makes me feel sluggish. I don’t enjoy activities, which involve exerting yourself. I want to be me, again. I’m over the actual crisis that initiated being prescribed the drug, in the first place. But now I feel it’s only the Mirtazapine that is holding me back. I’m gradually reducing the dosage, with a plan to get off soon, under supervision of my GP pharmacist. But even here, I’m uncertain of what is going to happen, when I completely come off it.

    And I am actually in the middle of an autistic burnout, I think. I can’t say for certain that I have autism, but I have use the word burn out probably at least half a dozen times in the last few days. But I’ve learned how to push through it. The things that I need to do to protect myself but also keep going. Normal people just don’t get how you don’t wanna talk to people constantly and they feel like I’m snubbing them. But I have this feeling like if I am pushed too far I will go insane like a wild animal. And they don’t understand that I just have to shut myself down.

    • @Mental_health_an_Molly
      @Mental_health_an_Molly Місяць тому

      Thank you so much for sharing this and I’m so sorry you have been through so much !! I think getting a diagnosis should always be your choice and only if you think it will help you but getting mine definitely helped me once I was ready for it and they can also unpack and discover a lot more then just autism when your ready to open up and it might give you some skills and make it easier for you to be more gentle with yourself. Your not alone in your struggle 🩵

  • @tmc115
    @tmc115 Місяць тому

    I’m glad that you mentioned that about people think that autistic people don’t understand emotions. I understand things very well but it’s difficult for me to verbalize. When I do, it’s usually very painful. But I can talk to someone and I could say I think this is what you feel about me, and That is correct judging by how they react to me. And people usually do not have a very favorable opinion of me right off the bat because I like being to myself. I’ve wrote a lot about autism where it feels like a violation if somebody enters a room or forces, eye Contact or forces conversation. And I’m like yeah I feel like that all the time but I was very punished and shamed for it. So it’s always in my head. You gotta talk to people you gotta make people happy. And then I’m suffering for it.

  • @tmc115
    @tmc115 Місяць тому

    I am about to turn 38 and I struggle with the idea of getting diagnosed. I’m not sure if I should or not because I am extremely high functioning. And another thing that you didn’t mention is that not everyone is born with autism. I know I wasn’t born with it I wasextremely social and outgoing and I had lots of friends until I was about seven. And then I got into an extremely emotionally abusive house, and when I did my research, I found out that that’s actually a common response to extreme emotional abuse to develop autism.

    • @Mental_health_an_Molly
      @Mental_health_an_Molly 2 місяці тому

      Yeah but you don’t know if that person is, no one I know who struggles with mental health just lets it ruin their life. It’s complicated and difficult and no two things work for everyone. Just going for a walk won’t help schizophrenic etc. People see people raining awareness and making it their mission to show support to those suffering as well as help others understand and assume they “ aren’t trying to help themselves” in reality you have no idea of how much they are doing in the back ground to keep themselves alive. And mental illness or neurological issues are part of the persons personality and if talking about it helps them and helps other people it shouldn’t be shamed. Also many mental illnesses are chronic or not curable and require life time treatment or medication. So people can be doing everything they should to help themselves but still be dealing with a battle every day you don’t see. All I’m saying is don’t be too quick to judge about someone you only see in 15 second clips. They have a whole life there dealing with like everyone else that you don’t see. Raising Awareness and support is always a positive.

    Hello! I’m autumn, and last year 2 days after my 10th birthday, my grandpa died, then, 18 days after, my dog, daisy, was brutally attacked by a large, beise dog. Daisy is a miniature Australian shepherd. I was walking her alone, no adults near me or siblings, and my parents were about to Leave to Costco, so I’d be home alone for two hours. I stared my dog right in the eyes, she looked into mine. She looks away, stopped walking, and barked. I put her into a sit-and-stay position against a fence, were the dog approached. I swallowed my stomach. It launched at my dog, she showed her but, which is lucky cause she would have died if it was her neck. They swung her around like a teddy bear in a puppy’s mouth. She has had four stitches and a skin graft. After 5 months, she’s recovered. I’ve had no therapy or anyone to talk to, so usually when people ask stuff like this i tell them this story. I’m traumatized for life.

    • @Mental_health_an_Molly
      @Mental_health_an_Molly 2 місяці тому

      I am so sorry this happened to you and it’s amazing you felt able to be open and honest about this. I do think that therapy or at least being able to talk about it with people will help you. We never forget trauma but we can learn to live with it and have it affect are life less. I am glad your dog is okay now. My grandad was my only reliable care giver my whole life and he passed away two years ago in 27 but I miss him every day so I understand. When ever I think of him and feel sad I try to change my thought to a funny memorie of him and I find that helps. I can still hear him and his funny phrases in my head all the time and I think talking about loved ones we lost makes it easier 🩵 sending so much love and belief you will get through this trauma 🩵
